Les mer Made in Tennessee

A wave of new research by academics and curators inspired by the country’s 250th anniversary will be conducted over the next year in the state’s museums, universities, archives, and presses, exposing new stories and history. The Made in Tennessee podcast is intended to raise the visibility of this research to a broad audience, drawing on experts in the field to amplify and promote exhibitions, publications, and presentations occurring across the state in 2026. Listeners will gain insights into their own history by better understanding how the everyday art and craft objects handed down through their families were made and used.This project is funded under an agreement with the State of Tennessee administered by the Tennessee Commission for the United States Semiquincentennial.

Jennifer Core and Julia Doyle, Tennessee Samplers

Today we are excited to be talking about samplers--needlework textiles created in the 19th century by young girls (and sometimes boys!) to teach them how to mend, monogram, and embellish their household fabrics. We speak with two textile experts, Julia Doyle, the curator of fashion and textiles at the Tennessee State Museum, and Jennifer Core, whose new book, Tennessee Samplers: Female Education and Domestic Arts, 1800–1900, written with Janet Hasson, has recently been released by the University of Tennessee Press. Julia and Jennifer help us understand how to identify key characteristics of samplers and share tips on preserving them for future generations.

Cynthia Stow, Art Conservation and Tennessee Portraiture

You might ask what art conservation has to do with Tennessee material culture, but the work Cynthia does not only keeps our state’s treasures in a stable form to last for generations, it also has given her a unique view and visual expertise when thinking about the formal aspects of Tennessee’s art history. We’re going to delve into that perspective and learn more about the role of a conservator and also hear about an exciting project Cynthia has been working on around two of Tennessee’s most prolific 19th century painters.

His in-depth investigation of the subject seeks to reveal the lives of craftsmen in context with their work and the world through which they moved. We will talk with Tracey about how he became interested in Tennessee furniture, his work editing the groundbreaking The Art and Mystery of Tennessee Furniture, his support for MESDA, the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Art, and his thoughts about furniture on the auction market.
